Tunisia allocates $222M for rural projects
The value of five rural development projects in Tunisia amounted to approximately $222.1 million, financed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development, of which $108.4 million was contributed by the fund itself. An international evaluation indicated that the implementation of some projects was delayed due to shortages of human resources, delays in constructing control units, complexities in transactions, and delays in some Tunisian contributions, in addition to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic conditions on the progress of execution. Despite improvements in assets and living conditions, these gains have not always translated into increased household income, as some income-generating activities faced sustainability challenges after initial funding due to limited capital, difficulties in accessing financing, and lack of technical and commercial support. Additionally, there was weak linkage between producers and markets. The assessment emphasized the importance of better planning, coordination, and monitoring to ensure the sustainability of projects, create employment opportunities, and generate sustainable income for households. It also highlighted the necessity of focusing on reducing developmental disparities between regions.
